The distribution and consumption of second-hand clothing have evolved into a rapidly expanding market that spans multiple countries, some where these garments are worn, discarded and accumulated, and others where they are imported, distributed and consumed. The result is a complex network of North–South global circuits.
This report is the outcome of the GreenCCircuit project which aims to contribute to development education in the context of the circular economy in the textile and clothing sector in the Ibero-American space, particularly Mozambique and Mexico.
The report uses Portugal as an example of exporting countries, while Mozambique and Mexico are illustrative of recipient countries. It concludes that the social and economic aspects are both vital.
